September ~ Confucius Ceremony
Even in Mainland China, today it is difficult to witness an orthodox Confucius ceremony. Confucius is acknowledged as the greatest teacher in Chinese history; his birthday falls on September 28. The government designates this day as Teachers' Day. In recognition of these important people, we hold the ceremony on this day at six o'clock in the morning. The principals of schools and the chiefs of the districts of the city act as accompanying consecration officers. The President authorizes the Minister of the Interior to represent him in offering sacrifices to Confucius. According to traditional practice, the Confucius ceremony comprises displays of music and dance and presentations of food and wine, in veneration of Confucius.
